BOOK SUMMARY: A story within a story. Wuthering Heights is a passionate story of the toxic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff.  When first published, this poetic masterpiece was extremely controversial for its immorality and its physical and mental cruelty. It has stood the test of time and is truly one of the most influential classics ever written.         

Our book club picks for 2016 are...

It's always difficult (understatement) when we choose our books to read for the next year, especially when I make sure our selection has a mix of: Fiction, Young Adult, Classics, Non Fiction and Historical Fiction. 

It's a balancing act to find books that we really want to read along with books that stretch my members outside of their usual reading comfort zones. But, I think we achieved the impossible and created a fabulous book line up for next year and I'm excited to read and discuss EVERY SINGLE one of these books!!

6 Classics to hit the big screen!

In the next few months, adaptations of some of the most beloved literary works of all time will be making their way to theaters this year and I couldn't be more excited!

Here's a look at what to expect.

Director Andrea Arnold (2009's terrific Fish Tank) and British Skins actress Kaya Scodelario bring a brooding indie vibe to Emily Brontë's intense romance, which scandalized and riveted readers long before Twilight and Fifty Shades.
